purl, vocabularies and ivoa.net

[nicolas moreau]

Dear Marco,

In order to simplify the redirection process if vocabularies are 
distributed in several places,
we suggest to use the following pattern :

purl.ivoa.net/vocab/theory/ConceptName

and redirect it to Paris pages.

The use of a purl prefix makes it explicit that we are dealing with a 
persistent identifier
and not a simple url.

www.ivoa.net/vocab/theory is acceptable too, it is simply not as clear 
if we are
requesting a web page or a concept.

Cheers,
     Nicolas
